CXXXVI: Lauded be Thy Name, O Lord my God! I am Thy servant
...

1

Lauded be Thy Name, O Lord my God! I am Thy
servant who hath laid hold on the cord of Thy tender
mercies, and clung to the hem of Thy bounteousness.
I entreat Thee by Thy name whereby Thou hast subjected
all created things, both visible and invisible,
and through which the breath that is life indeed was
wafted over the entire creation, to strengthen me by
Thy power which hath encompassed the heavens and
the earth, and to guard me from all sickness and
tribulation. I bear witness that Thou art the Lord of
all names, and the Ordainer of all that may please
Thee. There is none other God but Thee, the Almighty,
the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.

2

Do Thou ordain for me, O my Lord, what will
profit me in every world of Thy worlds. Supply me,
then, with what Thou hast written down for the
chosen ones among Thy creatures, whom neither the
blame of the blamer, nor the clamor of the infidel,
nor the estrangement of such as have withdrawn
from Thee, hath deterred from turning towards
Thee.

3

Thou, truly, art the Help in Peril through the
power of Thy sovereignty. No God is there save Thee,
the Almighty, the Most Powerful.
